Maybe we really do all go and have a lovely picnic in Gwen's secret garden.


That's sounds ruder than I intended

You ever have to clean up after a Moa bird?

You get the mini-moa after chopping down a mighty tree with the herring.

Yes, the more I think about it a picnic in Gwen's garden near EotN is the perfect solution.

We could use the tapestry shred to lay the food on, gorge ourselves on egg, fish and berries, then use the rock as an interesting conversation piece...

Once we've had the loveliest of times we'll nip back to Katherine in Gyala to tell her all about it, which will make her cry cause she wasn't invited and her only friends are turtles.

Maybe the herring is a red herring as well as a clue? Maybe we should read it as 'her ring', referring to the newbie quest on Istan where you have to retrieve a ring from some nests?.

Fools! These items, once gathered, will open the portal to the Secert Moa level, where you will slaughter countless Moa's in the hopes of getting rare items!

You'd need to carry a tank around for it to swim in....that would be cumbersome.

I bet's it's a wink to Monkey Island, and the use of all those items have no sense at all.

As good a theory as any! Except, I just did that quest on my new paragon yesterday, didn't see anything new or interesting compared to the other times. Of course, I wasn't carrying the mystery items.

But in all honesty, I don't think that the requirements for this will depend on not having done an existing quest.

An idea....

Perhaps you take all this stuff down the rabbit hole and have a "picnic" by the tree at the bottom.

All I can say is...I'm hooked!

I will be following this closely to see what happens.

Now just to get access to the falls. Guess I will have to finish up the Kurzick side now.

Some of the items you guys listed have been about before the egg apeared. I think it's more likely that only the Egg, Hardening, Herring, Nest, Kathrine, and Volcanic Rocks have anything to do with this mystery because they all appeared around the same time according to reports. Therefore I believe the the berries and the stones in the crystal desert and the salad(use for teh Bokka quest) and the gwen items that one can find skattered about Tyria and elona are somthing diffrent altogether. Anet has a habit of keeping the gwen items a loose end and i think that they will stay a loose end until the last major update like the one that brought us sorrow's furnace.

List of "NEW" moa items:
egg
hardend egg
volcanic rocks
herring
nest

That's all I think is available now... if anything the last clue will be somewhere in EotN. I guess all we can do is gather our supplies and wait for that clue which i believe will be somewhere in the Asuran lands in the Tarnished coast south of the Maguma.

P.S. Thanks to Galie for her post that allowed me to solidify my theory

Just wondering since no one (as far as I can tell) has found the Nightfall link to this easter egg hunt and there are collectors there, plus its a relatively unvisited area.

Oh and don't forget all the Great Zehtuka and all his dropped pieces. Could the Great one have had a long lost mini moa?

We should be safe to stick with Hardened eggs, nesting material, volcanic rocks and the herring. The herring will be what the baby eats... moas are large and carnivorous and didn't get that way eating Juni Berries.

Now... we know we can get multiples of each item... I wonder if we can get multiples of the results?

For farming skree wings I use 55 Mo/D. When SoJ has recharged I just recast balth spirit and they will interrupt that, then SoJ is good to go. Works great .

Why the complications farming scree wings? I took a full H/H party into the area where the heket battle the skree and in three runs had all I needed. It was funny having to fight the heket off to beat them to the skree... plus I made a couple K off the drops and chests.

If you want more theories about the EotN link, what about those map pieces and koris deeprunner? Maybe they're involved

No complications here. It's much more fun to kill them by myself with my mighty monk ;p /flex

I went out thinking monster drops this will be a piece of cake....6 runs and a couple of Plat and a crap load of blue drops, some purple and golds later.....I have 2 wings........2 effing wings. Same goes with the bog scale fins....I have 3 fins after like 5 or 6 runs. Loot scaling ftl.

I did it with a full party so loot scaling wasn't a factor. That could make a bit of a difference.

The bog scales did take longer. Try this... the zone the collector's in... if you map out to the one north of it there are hundreds of bog scales all waiting for you.

Yep, did 3 runs .. 1 wing..
5 more runs .. 4 wings ..


FYI: If you aren't for H/H and want to mix it up:
Thiark Orchard Mission.

You fight the Skrees at the end when you get the Princes involved.

This will never happen. People would have a s**t fest if they had to collect all this stuff but not be able to get anything unless they PvP'ed.

I did that one the easy way. Exit Lion's Arch into North Kryta Province. There's a ton of Level 11 Bog Skales waiting for you right there. Easily solo'd.

truly loot scalling shouldnt be a factor anyways. if you think about YOU get about the same amount of drops in a full part as you do solo. the loot scalling was just to make it to where soloer dont get 8/8 party member drops now they get 1.8 of part drops. so it equals about the same.

Actually volcanic rock (lava rock) is very good for lining the pit in which to cook a pig, in which case maybe we need a mini pig for this picnic, in which case I think everyone should add a mini pig to their wonderfully imaginative lists, and in which case I'd like to sell my mini pig for 100k plus 100 ectos. Thank you!
